What red, white and blue dessert would you recommend for the 4th of July?

[pamperedtracy]

Hello all,

I am looking for a recipe that Pampered Chef featured a while back. It is a dessert, and is made to look like a flag with the blueberries and strawberries.

With the 4th of July tomorrow, I was going to make it, and can't find it. It is different than the Berries and stars dessert that they are featuring now.

Although, if I can't find the recipe I am looking for, I will make the berries and stars.

Just wanted to see if anyone could help. I can't remember if it was in a cookbook, or I saw it on the website a while back.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tracy

I think I know what you are talking about, but I can't remember it either. You can always do an ingredient search on CC.

There's one with jello

Red Jello on the bottom, topped with cool whip and then the strawberries and blueberries in their respective places.

You can also do it with cake. I prefer the jello, light and simple.

Yes, I tried an ingredient search, but I didn't see anything that looked like what I am talking about. I will keep digging. I know it didn't have jello in it, but that does sound yummy.

Stars and Stripes Dessert Pizza

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 lemon
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 3 cups)
2 bananas, sliced
36 blueberries (about 1/3 cup)
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Cook's Tip: Dessert can be assembled and refrigerated up to 4 hours before serving.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll 1 package of crescent roll dough; do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of a rectangle stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Sprinkle with flour. Using a baker's roll, roll dough to seal seams. Trim edges 1/2 inch from edge of stone with a pizza cutter. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar. Zest lemon to measure 1 teaspoon zest. Juice lemon to measure 1 teaspoon juice. Add zest and juice to cream cheese mixture; mix until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust.
3. Hull strawberries. Slice strawberries and bananas with an egg slicer. Brush banana slices lightly with additional lemon juice.
4. To assemble pizza, attach closed star tip to a decorator; fill with whipped topping. Pipe stars to create a 5-inch square in upper left corner; place blueberries in even rows between stars. Attach open star tip to decorator. To make stripes, alternate 5 rows of strawberry slices with 4 rows of whipped topping. Arrange banana slices over whipped topping. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

I just copied off one from the Kraft Foods - Great Recipes and Food Ideas site, yesterday. It is called
Wave Your Flag Cheesecake and looks very appealing. Nice thing is that it does
not require any baking. Across the bottom of my copy is the following:
